Lore & Loneliness

What a Gift Podcast

This week, the gals unwrap unexpected gifts of Lore and Loneliness. First, Sarra and Jule go back to the family tree to talk about Lore, those family stories, inside jokes, traditions, and memories that really shape who we become. How all of these experiences in our lives give us perspective, and help us see our lives as part of a much bigger story. Then, they unwrap a gift that doesn’t really sound like much of a gift at all, Loneliness. But don't despair, because the gals explain how loneliness isn’t necessarily a sign that something is wrong with us and that even marriage and friendship can’t completely eliminate it. That longing for community can actually point us toward the perfect love we were made for. Along the way, they check in on Jewel Gets Her Spark Back, revisit the legendary purple journal, and discover that even a 2003 dream about Orlando Bloom can become part of the lore. If you're wondering what really makes us the way we are, or are trying to understand this longing feeling you have, this episode is for you

About Podcast

Two friends unwrap ordinary life — the chaos, disappointments, spirals, fresh starts, and weird little joys — and practice receiving it as something that might actually be a gift.

We’re not, by nature, the kind of people who look at life’s chaos and chirp, “What a gift!” But maybe we should be. So we’re practicing — one conversation at a time — laughing (and sometimes complaining) our way through the little treats, let-downs, and weird in-between moments that make up life, slowly figuring out how to mean it when we say, “What a gift.”
